Estimating the top altitude of optically thick ice clouds from thermal infrared satellite observations using CALIPSO data

The difference between cloud‐top altitude Ztop and infrared effective radiating height Zeff for optically thick ice clouds is examined using April 2007 data taken by the Cloud‐Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) and the Moderate‐Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer...
